Age and medical standard

The base range is 18 to 33 years on 1 January 2027, with applicable relaxation. The table gives the CEN date-of-birth windows for the main communities. Both endpoints are inclusive.

The upper-age relaxation is three years for OBC-NCL and five years for SC/ST. The CEN also gives 10, 13 or 15 years to eligible PwBD candidates in the UR/EWS, OBC-NCL or SC/ST groups respectively, subject to post suitability and evidence. Check paragraph 5 for the rules on service-related relaxations and other special cases. The post medical standard is C2.

Three degree routes

Check the exact Annexure A wording for your route. A degree certificate may show the course name without listing the subjects or examination medium. Keep transcripts and any institution-issued evidence that establishes the language combination.

Translation credential or experience

The notice calls for a recognised diploma or certificate course covering Hindi to English and English to Hindi, or two years of work translating in both directions in a qualifying Central or State Government office, including a Government of India undertaking. If relying on experience, gather proof of the dates, office and duties.

Proof and application checks

The relevant qualifications must be held by the closing date for online applications. If your final result is still pending, the CEN says you should not apply. If a certificate was issued later but the result was declared in time, keep the evidence requested by the notice.Reference: Official RRB notice directory.
